I just heard that he is one of the finalist for the HC job, him or the Vikings DC, they are both going for 2nd interviews. Well it looks like we need to go out and find a new OC, that sucks, only 1 year of having him. I really liked him as a OC, I thought he did a great job, maybe now we wont get Turner at all.

The Miami Dolphins have reached an agreement with defensive coordinator Dom Capers on a deal that will make him the highest-paid assistant coach in the NFL.

Capers' new deal is for three years and an estimated $8.1 million, team sources confirmed. His salary in 2007 will be $2.6 million, equal to that of Washington Redskins assistant head coach/defense Gregg Williams, but Capers will get raises of at least $100,000 per year in 2008 and 2009.

Capers' current deal was set to expire on Sunday; he would have been able to talk with other teams, but he would not have been able to sign with another team until Feb. 1.

Also, New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has emerged as a finalist in the Dolphins' search for a head coach, sources confirmed.

Schottenheimer will have a second interview with the Dolphins on Tuesday, one day after Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin gets his second interview as a finalist.

The Dolphins have pared their list from 12 candidates to four or five.

Schottenhenheimer just finished his first season as a coordinator. The 33-year-old son of San Diego Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer is the youngest coordinator in the NFL. Brian Schottenheimer was the quarterbacks coach in San Diego prior to joining Jets coach Eric Mangini's staff this past season.

Tomlin, who will turn 35 in March, also just completed his first season, as a defensive coordinator. Tomlin is a finalist for the Pittsburgh Steelers vacant head coaching position, too.

Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey and San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron also are believed to be finalists for the Dolphins' job.

guys. losing shott would hurt us. he's done good things with this offense. not only that but now chad would have to learn his 4th new offense in 4 years (hackett, Dinger, Schott, and ?) plus he is the son of marty who is considered a great coach at times. and don't hand me the 1 yera coordinator too young thing. mangini was the same way. the fins would be smart to grab a young guy like shott with potential then a recycled nobody. a good option could be donnei henderosn as well

I hate the Phins even more if they do get him. Because I am sick of getting new OCs. It wouldnt be ne offense, it would be the same offense most likely just a different OC. A different guy calling the plays, but most likely our offense will still be the same basically. We will still have a west coast offense.
What kind of OCs are out there right now? Like which ones could we get?? Man this sucks, please get another HC Miami! I hate this, assistent coachs get taken to fast in this league, one team makes a dareing move, being us with Mangini, then every other team has to copy that move by taken up young coachs. I hope it back fires on them, though I hope Brian becomes a good NFL HC, just not for the Dolphins!!

Hes not the Head coach yet so dont get your hopes up. He will remain a Jet. He's way to young to become a head coach.

He may not be yet, but he is the favorite right now. It just seems like he will end up being the HC there. I really hope I am wrong though....

Schott won't make it past Tomlin and Cameron

This quote says it all:

Tomlin, Schottenheimer, Gailey and Cameron are all finalists so he has a 1 in 4 chance of being appointed and I think they go with Cameron as he has more experience.

SHIT!! I didnt pay to much attention to them interviewing him at first since they were interviewing like 16 people. But now that he's a finalist is scaring me. I agree with 115 all of these different OCs are bad. Damnit. I think Paul Hacket left some kind of curse on us.
